I don't know if anyone is around Livejournal anymore, but this is how I discovered FGCon back in the day. Neil Gaiman says that he'd do another FGCon if we organize one (https://twitter.com/#!/neilhimself/status/153663567932039168), so I'd like to organize one. Who were the original organizers? What steps do we need to take it get rolling?
People who are waiting for their CBLDF-premium copies of the Fiddler's Green Souvenir Book will probably be pleased to learn, according to the cover letter that arrived with mine yesterday, that Mile High Comics have taken over distribution of CBLDF merchandise (and they are doing a great job of catching up on shipments!).
Per their request, I'm pleased to announce the birth of Allistair to Michelle and Kurt. It happened at 3:18 a.m. on May 31st, with the boy weighing 7 lb. 3 oz. and being 20.5 inches tall.
An album inspired by the work of prolific author Neil Gaiman will be released this summer by Philadelphia-based independent label Dancing Ferret Discs. The project, tentatively titled "Where's Neil When You Need Him?," is expected to arrive July 18...
We've been reading Alice in Wonderland aloud for long car rides, have just got past the Mad Tea Party, and suddenly I know the answer to the Mad Hatter's riddle.
C'mon. You're steeped in Sandman. Think for one minute and tell me you don't know why a raven is like a writing desk.
This review from Erin Lindsey, who does the webcomic Venus Envy, captures my impressions from the FG presentation of Mirromask fragments:
Go see MirrorMask. Go see it right now. It's like Neil Gaiman ate 'Labyrinthe' after covering it with too much taco sauce, went to bed with an upset stomach, and dreamed it even MORE awesome and weird (and without David Bowie, to boot). Plus it has the world's hardest riddle, which I won't spoil just now.
I will apologize at the start for spamming everybody and put everything behind a cut because I'm a nice little beggar. And I'll post a picture of Neil at the bottom so the post is vaguely relevant. ;)
My friend Travis (link possibly not worksafe) is an artist of many, many talents. He carved this as their pumpkin this year, and it's gorgeous! Behold: the lovely Death Pumpkin .
I think of a Despair pumpkin as one that wound up getting smashed onto the pavement by pranksters. ;-)
